Introduction to the Nanovea Nano-Indentation Tester The Nanovea Nano-Indentation Tester works on the following principle. An indenter tip (Berkovich, Sphero-conical, Knoop or cube corner), normal to the sample surface, with a known geometry is driven into the sample by applying an increasing load up to some preset value. The load is then gradually decreased until partial or complete relaxation of the sample has occurred. The load and displacement are recorded continuously throughout this process to produce a load displacement curve from which the nano-mechanical properties such as hardness, Young's modulus, stress-strain studies, time dependant creep measurement, fracture toughness, plastic & elastic energy of the sample material can be calculated. The Nanovea Nano Indentation Tester can be used in a mapping mode to take data automatically from a variety of locations on your sample. |

The Nanovea Nano-Indentation Tester is a high precision instrument for the determination of the nano mechanical properties of thin films, coatings and substrates. With the Nanovea Nano-Indentation Tester you can quickly determine properties such as hardness and Young's modulus on almost any type of material - soft, hard, brittle or ductile.
